Promoted SC Preußen Münster goes into the game against SV Sandhausen with a tailwind. However, there are some question marks regarding the personnel.

SC Preußen Münster is now unbeaten in four games in a row in the 3rd division. The promoted team is in eleventh place in the table – a good interim result.

Now, SV Sandhausen will be coming to the Preußen Stadium on Saturday, February 10, at 2:00 p.m. The team that was relegated from the second division is eyeing the third place in the table, which would qualify them for the relegation play-off. “Sandhausen has stabilized and wants to go for second place in the Bundesliga. They will also want to collect points here. But we want to keep the points here and further increase the gaps,” said Preußen coach Sascha Hildmann at the matchday press conference on Friday.

Sandhausen are a real handful, he said, and one that Preußen will have to tackle even with a change in personnel. “We have a few big question marks in terms of personnel. Mrowca was ill and only completed parts of training. Koulis twisted his ankle and has a swollen foot. Böckle is out for sure, and there’s still a question mark over Grodowski.”

Joel Grodowski is the second-highest goalscorer for Preußen with nine goals this season. Nevertheless, Hildmann is optimistic that his team can hold its own against SVS. “We have a good, broad squad and will compensate for these absences. However, we still have to wait for the last training session to know who will be available.”

Preußen Münster want to build on their recent home games

Whoever he sends into the race, the team should build on the past home games. There were 2-1 victories against Arminia Bielefeld and Rot-Weiss Essen. “It’s going great at the moment. The eight points from the first four games are very good. We want to keep scoring, but we also know how difficult the task is. You have to approach every game with a plan and be prepared to make sacrifices.”

After the strong comeback, the situation with regard to avoiding relegation looks good. The first relegation place, 17th place, is currently nine points away. In addition, SV Waldhof Mannheim, who are in that place, have to play against third-placed SSV Ulm 1846 Fußball at the same time.

The game between 1. FC Saarbrücken and SpVgg Unterhaching, which should have taken place on Sunday, February 11, at 7:30 p.m., had to be canceled due to the pitch being unplayable.
